Anyone doing FET/IVF in Jan 2013 till everyone's BFP (Everyone Welcome)

[Sandy83]

Lucie, Good luck for tomorrow

Ali, Look forward to hearing your 3rd beta results

Think there is a good chance of me getting slight case of OHSS like last time but wasn't anything i couldn't handle. FS said that the number of follicles doesn't neccessarily effect how severe OHSS is she said your body either copes with it or doesn't once you get over 25 follicles so fx'd its no worse than last time xx

Lotus..hope your dogs are behaving and that you're finding some places around AZ to wear all your cute new clothes! Still saving for the next cycle right?? Did you give up on finding work somewhere w/ IVF coverage?? I remember thinking that was a good idea! When does DH come home??

Hey Turkey! Thanks for thinking of me. Funny that you ask about the dogs. I was walking the more difficult of the two last night and he started to chase a bunny, so I jerked the leash back like the trainer taught me. I ended up straining my arm/shoulder muscles and had to skip yoga today. I can't extend or contract the upper arm muscles without a moderate amount of pain. Things like this always happen when DH is away. I'm just adding it to the list...

I have a friend visiting this weekend and my sister is coming the following weekend, so I am looking forward to wearing my new clothes. I am still planning to look for a job in VA with IVF coverage. Unfortunately, I am just in limbo at the moment. I can't exactly interview from here, and I'm not sure where we will even live yet. If I can't find something with coverage, at least I will be able to make some $ for our new plan. I'm really hoping we are awarded a grant this summer to help us pay for more IVF. We are also hoping to be approved for the unlimited cycle "shared risk" package. It's around $30k. I don't think the grant will be anywhere close to $30k, but anything would help. DH will be here in a few weeks! I cannot wait!

Ash- so do you have a total of 2 now? How are you feeling?

 

[Mells54]

Em, congrats

Turkey, thanks for thinking of me. I did start Lupron, and in a couple of days I start estradiol patches, then the dreaded PIO. That's it for as for shots though.

Lotus, I'm so happy that DH will be home soon. I'm 25% through this deployment...hoping the next 3 months fly by, but at the same time I don't want to wish the summer away either.

Ali, thanks for the kind words. Sounds like you had a fun filled weekend! I'm very excited about you BFP, and it seems you have a strong little one. I can't wait to hear your third beta.

Sandy, good luck on trigger and ER.

Ash, yeah for a frostie, but I don't think you will need it this time around.

Sweet, hope the tiredness passes quickly. I remember that feeling with my pregnancy...not fun

TTC, POAS yet?

Lucie, good luck tomorrow!

Sorry for anyone I missed... so hard to keep up sometimes.

FS said that the number of follicles doesn't neccessarily effect how severe OHSS is she said your body either copes with it or doesn't once you get over 25 follicles so fx'd its no worse than last time xx

I think it has to do with your estrogen level as opposed to your follicle count, if your E2 is still relatively low then you should be OK. Mine climbed over 4000 and that is what did it for me.

I hear though that if you do have OHSS, that it will get better as time goes, but if you are pregnant it will get worse again as the hCG rises. So be on the lookout for that!

 

[LotusBlossom]

Mells- I know exactly what you mean about wishing time away. I do a lot of that, and I wish I didn't. I try to keep myself entertained and enjoy things like taking up the whole bed if I want to, eating foods he doesn't like and watching movies he wouldn't enjoy... But I would rather have him any day and it's hard not to wish for that day to come. to you, my sister. You are so strong. ❤❤❤

 

[Sweetness_87]

How many hours do they want to see it the beta double????? My first one was 506 on 5/24 then tomorrow I'm guessing it should be around 1500 is that right?

 

[Sandy83]

Well trigger done day off tomorrow from injections yay!!!!

Off work now till next wednesday so I can relax ready for ER and ET. I promise I will do personals tomorrow thinking of you all

Xx

 

[LotusBlossom]

Sweet- I think it should be around 2,000. Four days means it should double twice. So if you had a beta on the 26th, it should be around 1,000 and then doubling again tomorrow should be 2,000.

 

[Sweetness_87]

Sweet- I think it should be around 2,000. Four days means it should double twice. So if you had a beta on the 26th, it should be around 1,000 and then doubling again tomorrow should be 2,000.

Thanks! I'm now a little nervous it won't be that eeeeeekkkk. Come on tom

 

[MoBaby]

sweet I think anything between 1500-2000+ would be perfectly fine b/c they want to see 75% increase.. I think its going to be higher than that (I'm still thinking TWINS!! )

 

[Sweetness_87]

Mo I looked at the one from last time at 13dp5dt and it was 947. So I guess since it will be 14dp6dt that's two more days so I think that's possible given two more days. And I don't care what we have as long as it/they are healthy. . waiting for results are sooooo hard

 

[sekky]

Wow so much to catch up on in just few hours.

Em congrats darling. Wishing you a H & H 9 months

Ash keeping everything crossed for a BFP for you.

Ali glad you lines are still getting darker.

Sandy yay for trigger and injection free day. I kinda miss them though

Lucie hoping for great numbers for you tomorrow.

Lotus YAY for DH coming home soon. So excited for ya

Mo counting down to June 10?

AFM thank you ladies for your comments. I went in for an US today to check the fluid that showed up in my endometrium on ER day. Thank goodness it no longer there. She was so brief that I couldn't ask about the embryos but I plan to call tomorrow to know their plan.

 

[FirstTry]

I'm at my MIL's for the holiday, so can't read everything, but I saw that Em is preggers! Congratulations!!!

And Sweetness, I'm sure your second beta will be awesome.

 

[LotusBlossom]

Sweet- don't worry. Your first beta was awesome. I'm sure tomorrow's number will be high. So excited for you!

 

[Edamame]

Congrats Em!!

 

[2girls1baby]

Hope I got everybody!! Happy Memorial Day!! xoxo

Baby D...congrats on being PUPO! It's GREAT to see you back here. I thought about you often over the last 2 months as I experienced an all-too-similar situation as you had when I first joined the thread, and the way you handled yourself gave me a lot of strength and inspiration. Thanks for that!! Seeing you here and PUPO has me super excited for you, and hopeful that I'll be there soon too!!

Flowermal!! So happy to hear from you..glad the new job is going well, and it sounds like you're gonna be in great shape when it comes time to give it another whirl...any idea when that'll be??

Sandy...how are you feeling?? ER still scheduled for Wednesday?

ttcbaby-how are you feeling? Any more symptoms?? I'm pretty sure you're planning to POAS...have you gone there yet???

MoBaby-when is your FET going down?? I've been following your blog, but I'm just so inundated with all this info, I can't quite remember!

Mells-have the headaches set in? You've started the Lupron right??
What other meds will you have to take?? Not sure exactly how things differ (if they even do) when using donor eggs. You guys have GOT to be excited!!! I am definitely feeling a BFP for you. How's DH doing? You making out ok on your own??

Ash...how are you feeling miss?? Did you tell us already how many frosties you ended up with?? I am PRAYING that this is your BFP cycle, but it's always nice to have frosties!

Alicatt...how are you feeling?? What's next beta/ultrasound-wise?? Symptoms still kicking??

Lotus..hope your dogs are behaving and that you're finding some places around AZ to wear all your cute new clothes! Still saving for the next cycle right?? Did you give up on finding work somewhere w/ IVF coverage?? I remember thinking that was a good idea! When does DH come home??

Edamame..how are you doing these days?? What's your plan moving forward??

Ever...hope you are feeling good! I'm hoping that we may be cycle buddies one of these days!!

Em...Thursday's your OTD, right? I can't keep things straight, have you POAS yet?? When will that excitement begin??

2girls...Ultrasound tomorrow!!! How psyched are you?? Are you feeling good??

L4hope & Wannabe...hope you're both feeling great!! I love how you guys are always checking in and offering words of wisdom!

I feel hopeful! I'm seeing my sister and her kids after 2 years this coming weekend and lied to all of my family saying it didn't work...it would ne great to have good news to share!

 

[2girls1baby]

Em- yay!!! Congrats that's so exciting! When is your beta???!!!

Ash- how are you feeling

Turkey-thanks for the reassurance it's just sooooooo hard!! How are you feeling??

Sekky- looks like you will have frosties!!!!

Sandy- wow that's a lot! I bet you feel like your ovary is going to pop! I'm sure your going to have frosties to last two decades! That's awesome

Ttc-well with me I never had any symptoms from the progesterone until I was preg( so I relate them to pregnancy) being tired, a weird like sluggish feeling, boobs hurrying off and on) so that's another thing to look at if your symptoms were there before your ET. I don't know if I'm weird or not cause my FMU never is darker its on,y darker in afternoon or evening then progesterone never really bothered me I would always start AF still on progesterone. So I think those are pretty good signs.

Tinker- glad the dizziness has stopped crazy how every re is so different.

Ali- how are you feeling. Did you test again??

First- how are you when is your next beta?? And I'm not putting up a ticker or changing my things til I'm 12 weeks. This preg I just have a good feeling about. It's just different from the last. I'm excited.

2girls- how far long are you and your us is tom?!?!?

Afm- nothing too crazy. I have been soooooooooo tired my lunch break yesterday in the er I went to my car and slept. And just my bbs still hurt at night better during the day. I'm just pray daily and thank Godbfornthis beautiful baby he has given us!

If I missed anyone how are you doing?!

I'm 5 +4 tomorrow

 

[Em260]

Mells and Lotus - Thinking of you two and your families today. We're so lucky to have families like yours serving our country and keeping us safe. I'm sorry it means you have to be away from your DHs right now

Ash - yay for !!

Sweetness - fx for you! I know it's nerve wracking I'm scared to wait for my beta. Hope you get another nice high number!

Sandy - I hope OHSS stays away!

Sekky - great news about the fluid being gone yay!!

2girls - good luck tomorrow! ooh that will be such a good surprise for everyone! Let us know how it goes!

AFM - Thanks again for all of your comments and good wishes . I'm trying to decide whether to go in tomorrow morning for a beta instead of waiting until thurs. That way when the thurs beta comes in I'll know if it doubled. I'm so impatient I'll probably go I'm sure the nurses will give me hard time but oh well.

 

[L4hope]

Em congrats! If you can go for beta tomorrow why not?!

Ali, next beta coming up...I'm sure it will be nicely doubled.

Sandy, I'm sure you're so ready to get those eggs out!! But awesome for such a great response.

Sekky, glad the fluid has gone away.

Mells yay for getting started! Ugh...I hated the Lupron headaches. But you're right it's all worth it.

Lotus glAd you're going to see your hubby again soon!

Turkey, you're sweet thanks! Just want to see everyone get their bfp!! It looks like this thread is really heating up. So hopefully you'll be joining in soon with your next cycle!!

2girls what a nice surprise for your family to share your news!

Happy Memorial Day everyone! Hope you all had a nice weekend and much thanks to all of our service men and women and their families!!!
